Nov 23, 2004I will say that Michael Lark's departure from this book, and his signing of a two-year exclusive contract with Marvel stands up as one of the most abrupt exits I've ever seen, as normally when an artist announces their departure they have a couple issues in the can, but the news that this was his last issue was only released a few days back. In any event I guess if there is one good thing about the abrupt departure of Michael Lark it's that at least the Band-Aid was ripped off quickly, so readers won't have his impending departure hanging over the book for the next few issues. Still, this doesn't make his departure any easier to accept, as his art is a huge part of this book's success. Under his art the cast of this book have always felt like ordinary people who were struggling to operate in an extraordinary world, and my fingers are crossed that whoever they bring in to replace him is able to bring this same feeling. If I had my say I'd push for Lee Weeks, but I suspect this decision Read Full Review

Even the "filler" or uneventful issues of this comic are phenomenal

I didn't really like the guest artist who filled in here. His style seemed sloppy and rough compared with Michael Lark's much cleaner work. Story was decent, but the revelation at the end was awesome. It makes sense with all the clues they left going all the way back to when Josie was first introduced, which makes it a really satisfying twist.
